Abstract

Background: Organizations have faced significant changes since the beginning of the twenty-first
century; these unpredictable changes, as well as today's competitive world, require organizations to
have different competitive features such as resilience and agility, which are closely interrelated
concepts with knowledge management and help organizations adapt quickly to environmental shifts
and affect their performance survival. Aim: The present study aimed to explore the possibility of
knowledge management as a predictor of organizational resilience and agility as reported by studied
nursing staff. Research Design: An exploratory descriptive design was utilized. Setting: In-patient
medical, surgical, and intensive care units were all included in the study at Benha University
Hospital. Subjects: A simple random sample of 366 nursing staff were composed of 3 supervisors,
43 head nurses, and 320 staff nurses who had at least a one-year experience in the study setting,
approved their participation in the study in the previously mentioned units, and who are available at
the time of data collection. Tools for data collection: Three tools were used: Knowledge
Management Questionnaire, Organizational Resilience Questionnaire, and Organizational Agility
Questionnaire. The results revealed a moderate level of knowledge management (65.8 percent ). In
addition, nursing staff reported moderate levels of organizational resilience and agility (54.1 percent
and 60.4 percent, respectively), and a highly positive statistically significant correlation between
total knowledge management and total levels of organizational resilience and agility (p
value.01).Conclusion: The study concluded that knowledge management was a highly significant
predictor of organizational resilience and agility. Recommendations: According to the findings of
the current study, hospital administrators should support or adapt organizational culture in order to
enable the successful implementation of knowledge management technologies and practices, as well
as lead organizational efforts to change organizational culture in order to maintain organizational
resilience and agility.
